Chile is currently experiencing one of the most intense storms, leaving an unprecedented amount of rain in a short period. The frontal system of the past weeks has caused significant damage in towns and cities from Atacama to Coquimbo, heavily impacting the Biobío region. Many families are suffering, and artisanal fishing is no exception: boats have been damaged, fishing gear lost, forecasts predict weeks without being able to go out to sea, and the beaches are damaged due to rising sea levels and swells.
